weirdest way to integrate x*e^x (negative first derivative)

weirdest way to integrate x*e^x (negative first derivative)

We usually use integration by parts from calculus 2 for the integral of xe^x. However, we can actually find a formula for the nth derivative of xe^x and then plug in -1. It works wonders! And we will also use the DI method to check the answer! For more fun calculus tutorials, subscribe here: 👉 https://bit.ly/just_calc
